At least twelve workers have been killed in a series of explosions triggered by a blaze at the Gadani shipbreaking yard in Pakistan. Some workers may reportedly be trapped inside the yard, with the fire still raging.

Some 58 workers have been injured in the blast, Reuters reported citing Zulfiqar Bokhari, a senior administrative official in the area.

The fire started in a dismantled oil tanker that was stationed in the yard, according to DawnNews. Eight explosions occurred inside the oil tanker while the workers were performing gas welding work, and more explosions are now feared due to the fire.
